☾ 001. action.

[selene]

[ It doesn't matter where you are in the city. Just as long as you're not only inside today, you might find yourself meeting a new person rather abruptly. Or rather, by them bumping into you.

If you're standing somewhere on the streets or the sidewalks or maybe even inside some shops, you might notice a blonde-haired girl in the distance running towards you.. except she doesn't seem to notice you in return, so she ends up running right into you at full speed, with enough force that knocks her back to land on the ground on her butt with a slight whine.

What do. ]

[Kaiji here is just minding his own business, browsing some Valentine's Day displays intently in the shop windows, when suddenly COLLISION! He doesn't fall down, but he does stagger a bit.]

What the hell?!

[breatheinthefog]

*There is a thirteen-year-old glaring down at Usagi. She doesn't seem to have much emotion behind it, though.*

Don't do that.

[croibhristeoir]

[Whump. How's it feel running into someone built like a brick wall, Usagi?]

[Not that you can really tell, he's in some nice civilian clothes and glasses. And looking generally average and not really unusual. Really.]

Oh...I'm sorry, are you alright?

[selene]

[ Usagi is about to whine on the ground, but-- oops, this guy looks angry, better apologize first, right? ]

A-- a-ah, sorry sir! I guess I didn't watch where I was going..! [ just a little bit sheepish.. ]

[selene]

[ Oh, this girl is younger than her, but.. there's something almost scary about that glare, so Usagi just blinks idly. ]

S.. sorry..? [ and offers an apology, too. ]

[selene]

[ It hurts, okay. Which is why she's now whining on the ground, almost like some sort of kid. ]

W-- waah, that hurt..! Ouch, ouch, ouuuch!

[croibhristeoir]

My sincerest apologies.

[He leaned over with a smile, holding out his hand.]

Are you injured?

[trueempress]

[When two objects collide, the object with less mass will move farther.

The ten-year-old is also knocked down, and glares at Usagi as she picks herself up off the street!] Watch where you're going!

[selene]

[ Oh, hold on to that thought. This guy seems.. well, rather nice, with the way he's smiling and all, so.. Usagi perks up already too, grabbing his hand to help herself up. ]

... Ah, no, I'm actually fine.. It only hurt for a moment just now, ahaha! [ rubbing the back of her head. ]

[selene]

[ Usagi is no science wizard.. But at the complaint, she just winces. ]

S-sorry! I was sort of in a panic, you know..!

[croibhristeoir]

[LOOK HOW FRIENDLY, MEATBALL-HEAD]

That's good. I hadn't meant to get in your way.

[trueempress]

What panic is worth knocking other people over? Calm down.

[selene]

[ OTHER PEOPLE JUST INSULT HER FOR HER BUMPING INTO YOU. ]

No, that isn't all of it, either. I just came here, and.. well, I guess it's just that I have no clue what's going on! Weird, huh?

[selene]

This is an important kind of panic, okay! I have no clue where I am right now, and if I'm late for school again then I'll probably have to serve detention for the rest of my life..!

[trueempress]

You're in Prospero. You should focus less on detention and more on being stuck in a different city.

[croibhristeoir]

...actually, that's not as uncommon as you might think. What's your name?

[selene]

That's the part I'm worried about, you know..! [ ... sigh. ]

What happened to Tokyo, then? And how did I end up here?

[selene]

Huh? It's happened before? I never saw anything about it on the news.. [ she blinks a little curiously, talking more to herself than anything else. ]

And it's Usagi! Usagi Tsukino, nice to meet you!

[Action]

[princesszero]

[Hey, this is Rei, she's a miko, and she's a Princess. I just thought this meeting was meant to be.

Yep.

She's quick on her feet after being pushed back.]

Looking ahead when you run is a good idea.

[Action]

[selene]

[ IT'S AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE REI.. but okay, Usagi is just going to stare.. maybe wibble just slightly. A little bit. ]

S-- sorry, I wasn't paying attention, since.. well, I was in a panic, okay!

[Action]

[princesszero]

[At that, Rei can't help but check if Usagi is being pursued or anything. Living on the run kind of does that to you.]

And why would that be?

[Action]

[selene]

Because I just suddenly appeared here! And now I'm definitely going to be late for class, and this time it won't even be my own fault but they'll just think I'm making up another excuse either way!

[ whiiiine. ]

[Action]

[princesszero]

[... wow really.]

On the bright side, it really is not your fault.

On the other side, I don't think you are going back anytime soon.

[trueempress]

Tokyo... Where is that, again?

[Action] I just... Don't know.

[flyinggeneral]

[There are two reasons why Usagi will survive her encounter with Lu Bu.

First one is that there was no killing intent at all from her. Second one is that he was carrying a bag and not a halberd. Because hardcore chinese heroes go shopping for their waifus sometimes too... And bags do substantially less damage.]

Watch your step.
